BBS LM rep's

[BMWill87]

Guys

I'm thinking about getting some BBS LM rep's for my car. Will

Front 7x16 et20
Rear 9x16 et25

fit and what tyre size do I go for ? the car isn't lowered and I don't want to do any arch rolling if I can help it, also will the speedo be thrown out much ? Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Look at the Lenso thread.......



Think the LM rep's will look good

Where's the lenso thread?


Imo id go for 205/50/16 on the front and 215/45/16 on the rear, you 'may get away with 225 on the rear if you have standard suspension.

Got a link to the wheels your on about?

Well I went and done it !

fronts 7x16 tyres 205/50/16
rears 9x16 tyres 225/45/16

Photos make the gold look really bright but it's actually darker. Car could probably do with a little lowering but I don't want to lose driveability for looks. I may change my mind though

They look sterling pal! a tiny bit lower to remove the arch gaps and that will look stunning.

ooh, they look nice.

Edit; what do the fronts look like being 7j? (the dish)

I think the fronts look good, there is hardly any dish (about the same as the original BBS's) but I'm an old school hot rodder at heart and like the exaggerated look of the wider rear, the lack of dish at the front helps with the look. Also I wanted to keep the fronts the same width as my original wheels, no PS makes anything wider a pain in the proverbial when turning at slow speed.

Looks great! Good to see you got the correct size tyres too.

Thanks Barry, can't take credit for picking the correct tyre sizes, that was down to Mark at BM Auto. He did say if I go lower the arches will need to be rolled.
